DIALECT, CULTURE, AND SOCIETY
Historical background
The aim of this second volume of Dialect, Culture and Society in Eastern Arabia is to present a picture of Bahraini culture and society covering the period from the late 1920s to the 1970s through the eyes, and in the words, of those who lived through that period.

Moreover, at the heart of the city, lay Lucknow’s decadent and Bacchanalian court. Stories of its seven-hundred women harems and numberless nautch girls came to epitomise the fevered fantasies of whole generations of Orientalists; yet for once the fantasy seems to have been not far removed from the clearly swaggeringly sybaritic reality.
“But look at it now”, said Mushtaq gesturing sadly over the rooftops. “See how little is left…..”
We were standing on the roof of Mushtaq’s school in Aminabad, the oldest quarter of the city and the heart of old Lucknow. It was a cold, misty winter’s morning and around us, through the ground mist, rose the great swelling, gilded domes of the
